i recommend you apply a low cut around 100-120Hz on the side channel, 12-24dB/octave....you need to decide which is the best for your specific mix as no shoe fits all needs. to retain the power of the lead guitars in the mix, use a "mono maker", similar to Brainworx gizmo (i personally use a free plugin for windows cubase, it gives me more choices and suits my mixing style/work flow).
bass is non-directional, so if you have a bundle of it in your side channels, you are wasting science and opportunity. long story, best to research it really.
you might also like to explore some bit crushers...their sonic degradation is perfect for creating distortion-type artifacts, and of course it doesn't have negative consequences on other areas, unlike brickwall slamming. try it on drums too!
keep it loud
cheers
